Chapter 99: Etched in the Heart
Love, like a burning flame, can warm your heart and bring joy to your mind and body.
In the villa’s kitchen, Yusuf Zuck picked vegetables while Ruth Wilcox stir-fried them. The two of them had a clear division of labor, working together like a married couple managing household affairs, in perfect coordination without any awkwardness or strangeness.
Fried prawns, stir-fried clams, steamed hairy crabs, chives and bean sprouts, sour cucumber with ham.
Although Ruth Wilcox did not cook often, she still knew how to stir-fry dishes.
If a woman says she cannot cook, it only means she is lazy and doesn’t like to study. As with everything, practice makes perfect, just like cooking rice. If you don’t get it right the first time, can you still not get it right after eight or ten tries?
The same goes for stir-frying. You might add too much salt the first time, but can you still add too much after ten times?
Therefore, a woman who claims she can’t cook or stir-fry is simply lazy.
Music began to play in the living room. The overhead lights were turned off, leaving only a dim dining light. After busily cooking for nearly an hour, the two finally sat down face to face.
Ruth Wilcox’s villa had a collection of fine red wine, so she suggested drinking red wine and brought out six bottles at once.
Tonight, she truly intended to drink to her heart’s content.
